Seems they're well aware they got fired for sharing private company information with 3rd parties, the submission article contains their admission of this:
> Those of us who work on safety see risks before anyone else, and we rely on close collaboration with outside experts to work out how to address them
I too see it as my life-given goal to help other humans. But I realize that sometimes this means breaking the rules and standing for the consequences of that. I'm not sure why they think OpenAI somehow would be OK with them sharing private company information with random 3rd parties that the company didn't approve sharing data with.
To be fair that is nearly exactly how openai makes its money. What's good for the gander is good for the goose.
Where is the admission?
"we rely on close collaboration with outside experts "
This probably applies to every openai researcher, and most employees, given how much they outsource. It does not admit to mishandling anything.
